Princeton Satellite Systems has been awarded over 20 SBIR research grants from agencies including NASA, Air Force, Navy, Missile Defence Agency, Army, and the National Science Foundation. We also invest in internal research and development in areas ranging from commercial space to fusion propulsion. Read about a few of our favorite projects here!

We designed a small satellite to explore near earth asteroids using our Spacecraft Control Toolbox. The satellite features green HPGP thrusters, our autonomous navigation sensor, and a miniature ion engine.

PSS is working on SRT, a two stage to orbit, horizontally launched horizontally landing launch vehicle to carry 200 kg to the International Space Station. SRT-C could bring 6 crew members and 1000 kg to the ISS.
